Good story, bad filmmaking (directing, acting, background score).
20 May 2023
The story is good and i think its brave for the director and writer to make a movie about this. But why didn't they try to get better actors for the movie? You can see bad acting from the beginning. The main character Shalini did fine, but those three people taking her interrogation didn't show any expression. They were like reading their lines. This happens for most of the characters. Director should have guided them better. Except for shalini's mother, shalini and her christian friend, none of the actors were even okayish. They were so bad.

Background score made me cringe so many times. Almost every time a muslim girl or any other muslim talks, there is a villain music, even when they are having normal convo. This movie goes too much against muslim.

In the hands of the better moviemaker, this movie could have been great. I don't mind it being controversial because the story is about something that happened in real life. So, there is no problem in subject matter. But the director should go to a film school and hire a better casting director. I still admire him for what he has tried but come on, this is not the way to tell such a serious story.

One more thing, what's up with the subtitles? Can hardly even read them. Even before the dialogue ends, the subtitles of that dialogue goes away. Also, let the scene play out for a while, you don't need to cut it out so quickly.
